About Us | BLARE Films

BLARE Films is a production company concentrating on the development of powerful and motivating tv commercials, instructional videos, corporate videos, short and feature films, music videos in Phoenix as well as the rest of the country. Started in California in 2005, BLARE Films began making TV commercials and small independent films. When the economy took a downturn in 2007, BLARE Films saw lesser demand for TV commercial but an increase in corporate videos and internet videos. BLARE Films can show case a high level of expertise across all different types of video projects.

BLARE Films’ Philosophy

BLARE Films’ philosophy: “High-quality video production look at an affordable price.” When it comes to producing TV commercials, the goal is to deliver that Hollywood produced national look at a local businesses price range.

To achieve this, BLARE Films has stayed in the forefront of the video production technology realm. Whether it’s latest cameras or the newest video technique, BLARE Films has invested quite a bit of time and effort testing and researching ways to bring production costs down. This allows BLARE Films to offer you the quality that was once cost prohibitive. For example, BLARE Films was one of the first video production companies on the West Coast to offer 4k resolution when we rolled out the Red One Ultra HD Camera.

Complete Creative Services for All Budgets

Filling the gap between cheap, poorly-made video and ultra-high-end Hollywood productions, BLARE Films’ productions can be deployed for any business in multiple formats including internet streaming, DVD/Blu-Ray and 4k television broadcast.

When learning about us we learn about you. We like to familiarizes ourselves with your company, industry, achievements, and goals. Some of our inquires are common interview shots other are complex projects with multiple deliverables and large crew. The larger the project the more time we dedicate before and after a discovery call in order to provide you an accurate quote.

To that end, BLARE hires only well-experienced cameramen, writers, and crew to maintain professional production values. BLARE Films’ crew and equipment are occasionally rented out to other video production companies due to BLARE’s reputation for quality.

About Us and Our Approach

There’s a message you want to get out there, there’s an audience that needs to hear it, and there’s a perfect way to deliver it – Your story to your customer – Simply, succinctly, and sooner than you think. This is where we come in. We tell stories for a living. We help you feel comfortable because we’ve done this before. We can take your script and tune it up a bit, we can mold your ideas into a pitch that really shines, or we can start from scratch and deliver a complete end to end solution.

We know where to look for the best light, the cleanest background, and the most favorable sound. We know not to plug into THAT outlet, so that everything keeps running smoothly. It’s our job to solve problems before they happen.We’ll walk you through the process. We’ll take you by the hand from start to finish and identify just what needs to be done to accomplish your goals.

When it comes to gear, we have it. Our lighting packages range from one man run-n-gun style to feature film worthy trailers. We shoot in 4K or 6K for many reasons, even if you only need 1080P. We have redundant microphones, extra cameras, dynamic movement, and a whole lot more. It’s the way we like to design our shoots – less is not more when it comes to options in the post-production process.

Which brings us to editing. We have the ability to accommodate your specific needs through a large range of choices of editing styles and special effects. Our in-house production professionals are focused on your vision and have a ‘whatever it takes’ attitude when it comes to realizing the goals of your project. We use transcription services to get us all on the same page, we put our footage to archival tape immediately upon receipt to guarantee it pretty much forever, and we start every edit with the idea that the only constant is change.

We utilize an online platform to get your feedback right on the video and we factor in rounds of revision into the process so that there aren’t any hidden costs. In fact, we almost always come in at budget, but if your creative team decides that you want to expand the scope of the project, we’re ready for that as well. BLARE Films is committed to providing premiere services for each and every client.

So let us tell your story. With both our creative approach and technical approach we’ll tell it well!

In this highly competitive video production market, BLARE Media takes pride in its people and the work they produce. Without their skills and expertise – from industry proven and well rehearsed workflows, to the most up-to-date equipment, software and processes – our talented crews would find it nearly impossible to make our clients happy. Since Day One, BLARE Media has worked hard to deliver clients superbowl-quality, even when there’s not always a superbowl-budget.

Common Questions

Usually we schedule it to be an eight week process ; every client has needs that vary though. If you have a tight timeline, we have done entire productions in 14 days.

I spoke with another production company in Phoenix and they said I need to give them the storyboard and script. Do I have to write the final production for your company?

You can be as involved as you want to be in the production. You are welcome to be the writer and director or we can do it for you from your companys’ biography and the storyboard for the production that we make together.

Can you produce videos outside of Phoenix, AZ?

We shoot anywhere the project takes us. When production is complete, we can do the post production at our corporate office.

How many camera operators does it take to create a production?

Many videos only require 1 camera. However, we do recommend 2/3 for weddings and live event coverage; we can’t do retakes as we do with commercials and corporate videos.

Should we provide the actors for the production?

It’s perfectly OK to use people within your company; however, if you would like to hire an actor/actors we can aquire demo reels and let you choose the best representative.

Should I be present during the production?

Your choice. We can have a strategy meeting to outline the storyboard beforehand and provide a director if you need to be less involved.

Do you offer personal services such as conferences, live events, etc?

We are definitely available for that. If you hire a solo videographer you may or may not get good results, but if you hire us you will have peace of mind and we will work with you through the entire process.– better equipment– more reliable; videographers come and go– better video quality

Bottom line, how much does it cost?

Video production in Phoenix tends to start at $3900, but the price range will vary based on the options you choose for your project. If you upgrade to a Red Ultra HD camera that cost will go up by another $800. Best thing to do is contact a Blare Films producer/Rep. We’ll do everything possible to meet your budget. Some of the factors that influence the cost include:– the number of cameras– type of cameras– actors needed– voice talent– if you need a director– locations– miscellaneous equipment needed– animation in the video
